Windows 11 Build 22635545 Hits the Release Preview Channel

Microsoft has just rolled out Windows 11 Build 22635545 (KB5060826) to the Release Preview Channel. This update targets version 23H2 and brings a mix of new features and crucial fixes for Windows Insiders. Let’s dive into what’s fresh and what you should know.

What’s New: Small but Handy Features

First off, the update introduces some neat improvements, especially in the EEA region. Default browser handling gets smarter. Now, when you set a new default browser, it automatically pins to your Taskbar and Start menu. You can opt out, though, by unchecking the boxes. Plus, there’s a dedicated one-click button for changing your PDF default browser if it supports PDF files.

Another cool addition is the enhanced Windows Share experience. When sharing links or web content, you’ll now see a visual preview inside the Windows share window. This makes sharing more intuitive and visually engaging.

Major Fixes You’ll Appreciate

Microsoft has tackled several nagging issues with this build. One critical fix addresses an auditing bug that flooded security event logs, filling up system drives and blocking user sign-ins. This should improve system stability significantly.

Also, domain-joined machines running Windows 11 versions 22H2 or 23H2 can now update their account passwords on Windows Server 2025 domain controllers without trust relationship errors. This fix is a big relief for enterprise users.

Other fixes include:

Updated mobile operator profiles for better connectivity.
Resolved Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) connection issues requiring device restarts.
Fixed SMB share connection freezes on workstations and servers.
Improved removal of unused language packs to save storage and speed up updates.
Addressed kiosk device freezes after lock/unlock cycles.
Ensured Windows Hello for Business renews expiring certificates automatically.
Boosted Windows Search responsiveness to avoid long loading times.

Why This Update Matters

This build is a solid step toward a smoother Windows 11 experience. The gradual rollout of new features means not everyone will see them immediately, but the fixes apply broadly. Stability, security, and performance improvements are front and center here.

“The new default browser will be pinned to the Taskbar and Start menu unless you choose not to pin it.”

“This update fixes an issue where domain-joined machines couldn’t update their account passwords, leading to trust relationship issues.”

If you’re part of the Windows Insider Program, this build is worth testing. Expect better reliability and some handy UI tweaks that make daily tasks easier.

New default browser options include pinning to Taskbar and Start menu with a dedicated PDF default change button.

Windows Share now displays visual previews when sharing links or web content for a richer experience.

Resolved excessive security event logs caused by auditing privilege use to prevent system drive overloads.

Fixed Remote Desktop Protocol connection issues that required device restarts to restore functionality.

Improved Windows Search speed by addressing delays in the Search Box loading time.
